 Wild laughter echoed through the attic as one certain madbird made a breakthrough on her most recent project. A spray of paperclips and the like fell from her high nest as she fluttered to the edge of it. "Wahahahaheehooo... Oops?"
Jacksi dived after a bit of mirror, catching it in her beak before it landed and broke. She quickly began gathering the other supplies, glancing up to see if anything had landed in anyone's nest. She really needed to organize her things better. This wasn't the first time this had happened.

 On the Rocks frowned and clicked her beak as something hit her on the head, waking her. She was trying to dream-see again. She blinked, a few pieces of wire and glass in her nest. She picked it up in her beak and talons and lifted her wings, flapping up and landing just shy of her nest. "Jackson!" she twittered. "I have a little something that might be yours."

The inventor fluttered back up to her nest with a beakful of items "Mmr Mmph!"
She set the things down on the little shelves that she'd fashioned in her nest, and then poked her head out with a sheepish grin at OTR and a small chuckle. "Long time, no see, chicklet."
Knows that OTR is an adult now, but can't resist calling her by that old nickname she had when she'd first met the split-colored pidge as a baby.

She narrowed her eyes. "don't call me that. I'm not a little fuzzy anymore." she fixed her shawl. "I think you dropped these last night cause all i could dream about was you going to the junkshop." she said, holding them out with her claws. "Wanna come down for a nice cup of honeydew?" she asked. Nocturnal had taught her to make it using morning dew and a little bit of honey.

"S'right, you're a grown-bird now. And a witchety-witch, too! Never liked my nicknames, anyway, didja? Hehehe..." The older pidge snagged the items from OTR and set them in their places. "Sorry about that. Teach me to make spring-loaded devices at night, won't it, though!"
Jacksi poked her head back out with a grin. "That sounds nice! I've been hiding away this last little bit, except when I had to go scavenging..."

She nodded her head. "It certainly has gotten cold these past few weeks." she said as Jackson put the things away. She then dove for her nest with its little fairy lights all around. A line of herbs and feathers was around one edge. She picked up two acord shell cups and hopped to the leaky spot in the roof, where water dripped. After catching two drops in each cup, she picked the honeycomb from under her nest and mixed it. She pushed one towards Jackson. "Been working on something big?" she asked.

She followed Rocks, sighing as she landed and recieved the drink. "I'm at a bit of a stand-still, actually. I left a note for anypidge to come by with anything they might need to make things easier, but no replies yet. Meheha..."
Jacksi considered that her attitude and actions might be off-putting to others, but at times, she simply couldn't help it.

Rocks sipped her drink throughtfully. "It is scavenging season, as you yourself mentioned. Pidge need everything they can get." she sighed. "Of course...you could steal it like the no-good pidge who stole my wind chime." she looked at the little hole in the attic wall that used to have her tiny windchime made of scrap metal hanging in it. She pouted and closed her eyes. "She was brown...that was all I saw. I tried to get a feather, and a tried sleeping in the window, but i'm afraid its gone for good."

"Hm... I could make you another, or try and find this pidge for you? Stealing's not right in the least..." The inventor shrugged her wings. It'd be simpler to make a new one, certainly. She sipped at her drink. "I just feel useless, even though I'm bringing in plenty of things. I feel like I could be doing something better."
The odd bird shook her head, chuckling at herself.

Rocks looked at her. "It'd be appreciated. I miss the little chime..." she muttered, clicking her beak and sipping again, smiling.

"Can do, will do, shall do, my dear!" The inventor grinned broadly, happy to have a project not her own. "Would you like a bit of colored shiny-bright on it to catch the light?"

"yes. and if you could add something to keep it fixed to the wall strongly that would be really appreciated." she said, sipping her cold drink once more.

Jacksi nodded, sipping at her own drink and falling unusually silent. She couldn't wait until spring. Most of her time recently had been spent scavenging, when she wasn't feeling bad. Not exactly sick, but just not quite right.

She sipped some more of her tea. "Jacksi." she said. "If its not too much trouble, can I have one of your feathers?" she ran a wing tip around the edge of her glass.

She looked up, then odded. The inventor had been lost in her own thoughts for a bit, but that was never a good thing for her. She smiled at OTR. "Of course. I lost a few recently in a small mishap. Won't be but a bit."
She let out a weaker version of one of her usual laughs as she fluttered up to her nest and began rummaging through her things.
